When someone mentions [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/329844/personmain.jhtml"]Freddie Highmore[/url], your mind probably goes to young Peter, sitting on a bench, in "Finding Neverland," or Charlie Bucket in Tim Burton's revisionist "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Though he's had a number of more adult roles as he's gotten older, nothing comes close to what Highmore is about to take on next.

The series, which comes from executive producer Carlton Cuse of "Lost," has been making a number of big casting announcements recently.



Vera Farmiga will play mother and best friend of Norman, Norma Bates, and Max Thieriot will [url="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/ae-bates-motel-psycho-prequel-max-thieriot-freddie-highmore-vera-farmiga-370533"]play a new character[/url] to the family, Dylan Bates, Norman's older James Dean-like brother.
